“The cap-and-trade auction had a strong rebound from May’s COVID-related results. Cap-and-trade’s primary function is to create incentives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and the success of this auction and the fact that our state is ahead in meeting emissions reductions goals shows that California’s program is working and remains on the right track.” – Tiffany Roberts, Vice President; Regulatory Affairs
